Leaving the unfinished Jinding Division, Anyang Hou took Zhao Huang to the vicinity of the palace city, and looked up to see a large courtyard, in which fabrics of different colors were hung high and fluttering in the wind, and some of the fabrics were light and translucent, like a neon glow hanging from the sky.

"This is the Feather Pavilion." Anyang Hou Yan said: "This place is in charge of Mrs. Zhu Zi, don't think of this place as an ordinary dyeing and weaving workshop." ”

Zhao Xiao asked, "Feather Pavilion?" I have also heard that it is said that the clouds and brocades in the country are all from here, and the female cultivators in the middle school are good at weaving, and they can also weave body protection fairy clothes. ”

An Yanghou nodded and said: "I brought you here to let the Feather Pavilion understand the situation, after all, the future responsibilities of the Jinding Division may overlap with the Feather Pavilion." ”

When the two of them came to the outside of the Feather Pavilion, they were immediately welcomed into the inner chamber by maids, and when they walked through the courtyard, they could occasionally see a female cultivator soaring up, dancing, and the slightest ray of light was plucked with their fingertips, crisscrossing and intertwining, very graceful.

It's a pity that he didn't have time to take a closer look, Zhao Xiao was taken to a waterfront pavilion, and the breeze blew from the blue wave lake pool next to him, blowing up the plain curtains, and it was vaguely seen that there were people talking softly.

"Is Anyang Hou here?"

Behind the curtains, a woman's soft voice came out, and the Marquis of Anyang bowed down and bowed: "The juniors meet Mrs. Zhu Zi." ”

Seeing this battle, Zhao Xiao also hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then a female cultivator of the Feather Pavilion lifted the curtain and walked out, saying: "The Marquis of Anyang and this ...... Fellow Daoist, Madame, please. ”

"I'm sorry." Anyang Hou respectfully and respectfully, Zhao Xiao followed closely behind, and the two went straight into the pavilion.

I saw a woman in plain clothes sitting next to the spinning wheel, different from the graceful and luxurious in her imagination, Mrs. Zhu Zi did not apply powder, her hair was full of green silk and pulled up at will, there was no extra decoration on her body, and her feet stepped on the pedal, driving the spinning wheel to rotate rapidly, just like an ordinary weaver girl in the market.

However, in Zhao Xiao's view, this Mrs. Zhu Zi's demeanor was calm, and there was only the subtle sound of the spinning wheel turning in the pavilion, exuding a far-reaching, profound and indescribable artistic conception, which made Zhao Xiao's nervous thoughts involuntarily soothe.

"Sit." Mrs. Zhu Zi said casually, without looking up, someone brought a cushion on the side, and then withdrew all of them.

Mrs. Zhu Zi focused on spinning, and Anyang Hou didn't dare to speak, until the other party looked up at Zhao Xiao and asked, "This is Zhang Duanjing's student?" ”

"Yes." Anyang Hou replied: "His name is Zhao Xiao, and he is the only son of Zhao Ziliang and Wu Shuyu. ”

Mrs. Zhu Zi paused, the spinning wheel stopped, she looked at Zhao Xiao, and asked, "Why did you come to Dongshengdu this time?" ”

Zhao Xiao didn't dare to raise his head and replied, "The younger generation is here to pay tribute to his biological mother." ”

"And then?" Mrs. Zhu Zi asked again.

Zhao Xiao was a little dazed, and thought for a while before saying, "Go to the Jinding Division to serve." ”

Madame Zhu Zi stared at Zhao Xiao for a moment and waved her hand: "Okay, you go down first." ”

Zhao Xiao didn't dare to ask, so he had to bow and leave the pavilion with a stomach full of doubts.

"How?" After Zhao Huang left, An Yanghou asked.

Mrs. Zhu Zi turned the spinning wheel again, and her tone was a little helpless: "It's the same as Zhang Duanjing, I hold everything in my heart and refuse to say anything." ”

Anyang Hou also smiled: "Zhao Xiao's temperament is indeed different from his father, Ziliang is unassuming, open and cheerful, no matter how high or low the other party's status is, he can make friends enthusiastically, regardless of gains and losses." Therefore, even if he was not talented in cultivation and only had the position of a talisman for the rest of his life, the generation of talents and heroes of Huaiying Pavilion were willing to follow him on the battlefield.

As for Zhao Xiao...... These days, I can see that he also has a flamboyant spirit in his heart, but whenever he encounters something he is proficient in, he will unconsciously reveal it. Maybe Zhang Gong didn't want him to repeat the mistakes of the past, so he repeatedly suppressed and suppressed a good seedling to be willing and humble, and I couldn't stand it anymore. ”

"Are you going to let him associate with Jin Dingji?" Mrs. Zhu Zi asked.

An Yanghou nodded: "Yes, he will preside over the Fu soldiers." At the same time, he took advantage of the Fu soldier to control all the affairs of the country's spiritual material mining and ritual sacrifice, and he could not let the Chongxuan Pavilion control it. In addition, Wei Xiuwen also believes that the glowing stone produced in Xingluo County needs to be taken seriously by the imperial court, and a special person should be arranged to be responsible for the mining and transfer of the glowing stone, and it must not fall under the control of Chongxuan Pavilion. ”

"The lord of the country has chosen Luo Xixian." Mrs. Zhu Zi said: "This person is suitable, but it needs to be sharpened a little." ”

"Luo Xixian?" Anyang Hou said: "Zhao Xiao told me that he and Luo Xixian used to be close friends, but the two gradually developed a dislike in Xingluo County. ”

"Young people, these things are inevitable." Mrs. Zhu Zi fiddled with the silk thread at will.

"And when will he take office?" An Yanghou asked.

"I'll leave when the marriage is over." Mrs. Zhu Zi added: "The woman is Xin Taicheng's daughter. ”

Anyang Hou was a little puzzled: "Strange, although the Xin family is the prestige of the Huaxu country, it doesn't seem to be quite compatible with the Luo family?" ”

"The lord of the country intends to cultivate the Luo family, and the Liang family cannot be allowed to be in charge of military affairs." Xin Shunying said: "But the Luo family's marriage partner should not be a prestigious and prestigious family, and the Xin family's background is just right. ”

Anyang Hou sighed and said: "Liang Tao is in the middle of the court, Liang Bao is in the border pass, it's not easy to start." Kill any one of them, or there will be no peace. ”

"The edge of the Excalibur has been sharpened, and it is only waiting to be unsheathed." Mrs. Zhu Zi pressed the silk thread with her hand and said with her eyes: "Next, it depends on how to arrange the children." ”

……

Zhao Xiao followed the female cultivator of the Feather Pavilion to the front yard hall, where all kinds of cloud brocade fabrics were stacked for the guests to choose from. Purchasing Yunjin clothes is still secondary, and the Feather Pavilion is also an occasion for them to contact and communicate news privately.

Zhao Xiao was a little nervous, looking for a corner to sit down, he was still not used to this kind of rich place. Even if she saw Mrs. Zhu Zi dressed plainly, in retrospect, she revealed her control over the minds of others between her words and deeds, forming an undeniable power, and she did not need to be decorated with external ornaments at all. Considering that her status is comparable to that of the Empress Dowager, this does not seem unusual.

Looking at these ministers and ladies who came and went, maybe they were more to see Mrs. Zhu Zi, which may be related to the secrets inside and outside the court, and Zhao Xiao didn't dare to inquire casually.

Zhao Xiao inexplicably felt that the experience of these days was a bit illusory. Obviously, he was a talisman not long ago, but now he has changed suddenly, he has been taken in and sheltered by the Marquis of Anyang, living a life like a prince and nobleman, and even being able to meet Mrs. Zhu Zi, these things were unimaginable before.

But Zhao Xiao still retained a little sobriety, and now he was sitting in the corner, watching this noble person, his mind seemed to be withdrawn, and he vaguely thought that his situation was probably deliberately done by the teacher Zhang Duanjing.

It is impossible for the teacher not to know Anyang Hou, and the follow-up estimates are also expected by him. But why would a teacher do this? If you want Zhao Huang to work in Jinding Division, it would be good to say a word, and there is no need to go through such a lot of trouble at all.

But Zhao Xiao thought about it again, could it be that he was thinking too much? The teacher cared about himself and sent him to the Hou Mansion of Anyang, which was indeed a better life. Compared with the previous identity of the talisman, if you can make a difference in the newly established Jinding Division, it can be said that the future is promising, maybe the teacher just wants to see this result.

But the more this is the case, the more Zhao Xiao feels that everything in front of him is illusory and unreal, and this kind of good fortune that falls out of thin air does not seem to belong to him Zhao Xiao.

In other words, it belongs to a person named Zhao Huang with a specific identity, not his true self.

"Senior Brother Zhao?"

When Zhao Xiao was still in a daze and pondering in the corner, he suddenly heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, he saw Xin Shunying standing not far away, looking slightly surprised.

"Senior Brother Zhao, I didn't expect to see you here." Xin Shunying quickly regained her dignified and atmospheric look, and Zhao Xiao saw that she seemed to be slightly dressed and beautiful.

"I ...... I was brought to open my eyes. Zhao was vague.

Xin Shunying was about to ask, and a man came over on the side: "Shunying, have you met someone you know?" ”

The visitor was dressed in a soap coat, with yellow and red silk tied around his waist, and the hanging ribbon was embroidered with a star pattern, and his eyes were unusual.

"Father, this is the Zhao Xiao I mentioned earlier." Xin Shunying introduced the soapy man.

Zhao Xiao knew the identity of the other party, and hurriedly got up and bowed: "The juniors meet Xin Taicheng." ”

Since the Tianxia Dynasty, the Xin family has been looking at the stars for the emperor and calculating the weather, and the establishment of Qin Tiantai by the Huaxu Kingdom is also to follow the example of the previous dynasty, and the Xin family naturally serves the lord of the Huaxu Kingdom by virtue of the inheritance of family learning.

If you talk about the family lineage, the Xin family is definitely not as good as the immortal blood yin in the Chongxuan Pavilion, and there is no famous and prominent military exploits, but because of the special function, it belongs to the king's close attendants, and the status is relatively special.

"You're Zhao Xiao?" Xin Taicheng's eyes were strange, and he actually stretched his neck to stare at Zhao Xiao, even Xin Shunying was a little embarrassed, and nudged his arm:

"Father, why are you staring at Senior Brother Zhao like this?"

Xin Taicheng realized that he was rude, and coughed lightly: "Zhao Fu has worked hard in Xingluo County, I heard that the prayer ritual to restrain the sword of the chaotic party was arranged by you personally?" ”

Zhao Xiao replied: "The junior has only done some trivial things, and the magic ritual can be operated and effective, but it still depends on the Chenghuang Hengbi Gong and the immortal magic weapon of the Chongxuan Pavilion. ”

Xin Taicheng shook his head and said: "This is not insignificant, although afterwards I also thought of using the ritual to resolve the calamity, but to arrange mandalas throughout the entire Xingluo County to match the mountains and rivers and the leylines to operate the ritual, this must have a very high attainment in the ritual and ritual." ”

"Xin Taicheng praised it falsely, this trick of the younger generation is far from the word attainment." Zhao Xiao said: "It is said that the younger generation also got the guidance of Senior Sister Xin to think of this method. ”

Xin Taicheng looked at his daughter, Xin Shunying was stunned for a moment: "My guidance? Brother Zhao said that he was joking, right? ”

Zhao Xiao said: "Senior Sister Xin forgot? When I was refining the Chonghui armillary sphere before, you once instructed me how to think about the Heavenly Stars Dou, the Heavenly Star Seal Domain corresponds to the division of mountains and rivers on the ground, since the Star Seal Domain can be stored and practiced alone, then the earth and mountains can also be secluded.

The place where I set up the mandala ritual in Starfall County is like the stars in the sky, and it is the place where the qi and the spirit meet. It's a pity that time is in a hurry, and I can only use the leyline qi machine alone, if I can refer to the original activation of the Tiegong Ancestral Hall's enchantment, the upper should be the celestial star, and the lower vein, maybe the prayer ritual can be used for a longer time...... Well, maybe I can't arrange such a ritual. ”

When Zhao Xiao talked about this ritual and ritual, he felt that his body and mind were open, and he was gushing endlessly for a while. But when he saw Xin Shunying's subtle eyes, he hurriedly restrained himself, so as not to show off his shallow knowledge and offend Xin Taicheng, the waiter.

"Zhao Fu, you ......" Xin Taicheng stopped talking, and after pondering for a while, he said: "As far as I know, the Huaiying Pavilion is not good at scientific rituals. ”

"It probably has something to do with my family tradition." Zhao Xiao replied: "The ancestor of the younger generation is the praise official of the Tianxia Dynasty, I wonder if Xin Taicheng has heard of it?" ”

"Salute Officer?" Xin Taicheng pondered: "This is not strange, almost all of the contemporary rituals and rituals have been rectified and revised by the Tianxia Dynasty Praise Officials. In particular, the Tianxia Dynasty set up the system of five capitals, and the legend is to settle the five sides of the town and welcome the five spirits to protect the country. ”

Zhao Xiao didn't answer, but he was muttering in his heart, precisely because he had studied the ritual for many years, and he could see its effect clearly, and understood that the Dharma alone was not enough to protect the country's strength for a long time.

"By the way, since Zhao Fuyi is studying with you in the Huaiying Pavilion, you should invite him to watch the ceremony." Xin Taicheng said to Xin Shunying.

Xin Shunying hesitated a little, and Xin Taicheng turned to Zhao Huang and said: "The little girl is about to get married soon, Zhang Shouzuo came to witness as the division commander, why don't you join Zhao Fu?" ”

"Big wedding?" Zhao Xiao was stunned at first, but then he figured it out in a flash: "The man is Luo Xixian?" ”

"Yes." Xin Shunying nodded.

Zhao Xiao arched his hand and said, "Then I will congratulate Senior Sister Xin first." ”

Xin Shunying returned the salute: "Thank you Brother Zhao, and I hope you meet a good couple soon." ”

At this time, Anyang Hou came, as soon as he saw Xin Taicheng, he immediately stepped forward to say hello, and the two exchanged a few words, and the other party learned that Zhao Huang was now living in the Hou Mansion, and assisted Anyang Hou in setting up the Jinding Division.

"Senior Brother Zhao, this is going to soar." While the two elders were talking, Xin Shunying smiled and said, "When such a big thing happens, I won't say a word to us, the classmates of the museum." ”

"It happened in a hurry, and it was too late to say." Zhao Xiao asked in a low voice: "Did you and Luo Xixian already make a marriage contract?" ”

Xin Shunying closed her eyes and replied, "I already knew before I left for Xingluo County, and I came to Yuyi Pavilion today to thank Madam Zhu Zi." ”

Zhao Xiao asked: "Could it be that your marriage contract is Mrs. Zhu Zi's matchmaking?" ”

"Matchmaking? That's a good word. Xin Shunying nodded and admitted: "The marriage of the family is not like that of ordinary people, it is related to the government and the opposition, the upper and lower government offices, which are intertwined and widely implicated. But the marriage of the two families is a private matter, and it is not easy for the lord of the country to interfere in person, so Mrs. Zhu Zi will deal with it. ”

"From this point of view, it is still the lord of the country to guard against the Chongxuan Pavilion and use this to balance the court." Zhao Xiao said in a low voice.

Xin Shunying smiled: "It's you, Senior Brother Zhao, who has to be protected by the Marquis of Anyang, and you are working in the newly established Jinding Division, and you have to think about the future in-law object." ”
